I'm probably one of the few here that collects dolls and action figures so can maybe give a little different perspective to my review.
Jeannie 2 pack.
First of all, the box is ginormous. The width could be easily cut in half and still have the back drop. Half of the box is empty. The bottle was severely bent by how it was tied into the box. Had to heat a cup of water in the microwave for 90 seconds and then soak the bottle for 30 seconds to straighten it. It's also not level on the bottom and kinda leans.
Now, on to the dolls.
You can tell they didn't have the actor's likenesses. It's obvious who they are and they look like the characters. But they don't look like Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman. They are both a bit generic. Jeannie is helped by the lovely paint deco they gave her face. The clothes are nice. Jeannie's especially. Her pants are very sheer. More so than Jeannie's actual costume. So, thankfully the did wisely give her little painted panties underneath. The hair is nicer than expected. Not classic Barbie hair quality but not budget hair either. For the price point, it's nice. Maybe a little dry feeling on the ends. Oh, I almost forgot, she doesn't have her little hat under the veil. That was a little disappointing. Major Nelson's clothes aren't as fancy. Not terrible just more simple in comparison to Jeannie. The majority of the detail like buttons and medals are painted on.
As nice as the Jeannie set was, Dracula really shines. Probably one of the best if not the best Bela sculpts I've seen on a figure. In person it's amazing, pictures online really haven't really done it justice. The clothes are fantastic. Much nicer than you'd expect at the price point. Near collector doll quality on a $14.99 figure. Lots of extra details. The bowtie, the lined cape, the little pearlized buttons on the vest, the little white handkerchief , etc. Puts Major Nelson's outfit to shame. Lastly, the unique hands are a nice touch. Really adds to the figure. The only negative is the tightness of the jacket prevents you from fully moving the shoulders and raising his arms.
